Barry Tempest is 79
Damn, missed it by a couple of days, mate. Still, a couple of days out of 79 years and also out of all the years we’ve known each other, can’t be too much of an aberration. Must be the Alzheimers ! So, hope you had a great day, Barry, and so pleased you’re still a fully paid up and licenced member of the happy band again. Awards ? About time somebody recognised your achievements…….or have you upset somebody….again ??
Best wishes and kindest regards.

Belated congrats Barry
Just 4 years behind you and now in Perth, Australia. Many happy memories of you and the MFG in the early 60's at Snoring. May you have many more years in the air. Doug Bush

Mere youngster.
I know of 2 pilots both well over 80, one who flies a Glasair and the other a PC12. The one flying the Glasair did a textbook 'gear up' landing a couple of years ago after one of the mainwheel legs failed to extend; he and the aircraft are flying again.

Their website states
As of June 2017 we have no vacancies in the group.
I had my aircraft maintained at Snoring for some years back in the 90's when Tindon Engineering were based there.
Lots of these old places have moved on and become closed shops.
Ghengis,check the date....
Awesome but Affordable
Thanks for the birthday reminder. Now 85 and still here. Though I gave up flying a couple of years ago due to cost and effect of ageing. It was good while it lasted some 65 years, over 13,000 hours and the best times in General Aviation.
I always recall doing an instructor renewal with you in the Chipmunk. You showed me a hesitation roll and we were nudging the buffet in the last two points of the roll.
I will also remember when you brought the gift of the painting to my dad when he retired from the Panel.
I agree about the best days of GA - same with airlines from which I'm now happily retired.
